EDITORS COMMENTS
This poignant print from the March of the Women Collection captures a moment in history during World War II, circa 1940, when evacuee children were sent away from their homes for safety. The illustration portrays a pair of young evacuees, looking both scared and hopeful as they embark on an uncertain journey.
The image serves as a reminder of the hardships faced by children during wartime, forced to leave behind their families and familiar surroundings in order to escape danger. It evokes feelings of empathy and compassion for these young souls who had to grow up far too quickly.
The unattributed artwork beautifully conveys the innocence and vulnerability of these evacuee children, highlighting the resilience that they must have possessed in order to adapt to such challenging circumstances. It is a powerful representation of the sacrifices made by countless individuals during this tumultuous period in history.
As we reflect on this image, we are reminded of the importance of cherishing our freedom and peace, while also honoring those who endured unimaginable hardships during times of war. The storybook-like quality of this illustration adds an element of nostalgia, inviting us to step into the shoes of these brave evacuee children and experience a small glimpse into their world.
